Kerr County, County seat in Texas Hill Country, United States.
Kerr County is an administrative division in central Texas featuring rolling terrain and the headwaters of the Guadalupe River in its western section. It contains several communities including Kerrville, Ingram, Comfort, Harper, and Hunt spread across its landscape.
Joshua Brown established the first settlement in 1846, leading to the county's formation in 1856. This early colonization followed centuries of inhabitation by Native peoples.
The Kerrville Folk Festival each year brings people together to hear traditional Texas music performed outdoors. This gathering has made music a central part of how locals and visitors experience the region.
The county is served by five independent school districts that serve the dispersed population across several towns. Visitors will find different amenities and services available in each community.
Several Native peoples including the Kiowa, Comanche, and Lipan Apache inhabited this region for thousands of years before European arrival. Their presence shaped the land and the routes through it for millennia.
